Re: Deathknell Chronicles OOC

I agree about Rogan, but it's pretty darn close otherwise. Some of the characters were really, really spot on.

At first I was like "Al doesn't look so casual." Then I was like, wait a second, that's exactly how she'd look if she was though. Henry and Hayden were both great. The Quenton picture was even better than I imagined in my head. Cassidy's ghouls made me smile. I actually watched some Burn Notice for awhile (before I move out of country), and yes, that's a good picture for the mystery ghoul.

Unfortunately, deviantart is pretty stingy when it comes to quality pictures of menfolk. Usually the rule is Male/Well-Drawn/Wearing a Shirt [choose two], which for some folks isn't a problem, but for others...

Rogan was a problem because it's very hard to search for, let alone find, good pictures of minorities sometimes. (The word "Black" produced a lot of emo stuff and African produced a lot of badly drawn stuff). I agree with you guys about Rogan. Hopefully this picture of Samuel L Motha****in' Jackson I just found will fit the bill better. (And failing that, Samuel L Motha****in' Jackson!)

And yeah, suit/aviators/stubble is a HARD combo to find. I was about to go with a suitless dude before I thought to look for Mike Westen.

I'll give Cassidy Victor's picture, but I have no idea what Victor looks like, aside from being kinda big (and smelling like piss and sawdust).

Initially, I figured that it'd be better to leave the dead off, since, yanno, it's not like they're going to be walking onto the scene any time soon. But then again again, I did have a "Who the hell was Brett?" moment while reading the IC thread, so that's good info to have.

I'll find pictures of those fine darlings tomorrow, though I might just re appropriate Cassidy's old pic for Billy. :3

Daelrog, are you planning to skip forward at all?

Re: Deathknell Chronicles OOC

Okay, back to a computer, even if it's not my beloved laptop.

Thoughts: I love the look of the new Cassidy. I don't know why, but Henry Sanderson had brown hair in my mind, Mike is SPOT ON and so is Flat Face, the creepy ghouls are... very creepy, so kudos, and Brent... reminds me of Charming from Shrek. I don't know if that's good or bad.

DO THE PCs NEXT!!!!

Danielle

Wow I am really torn.
On one hand excellent work, the eyes and face capture how I could see the character looking pretty perfectly, the expression of defiant boredom fits Danielle really well, and the eyes are fantastic.

On the other hand I had initially listed long blonde hair capable of a pony tail or pig tails, and without the colour and length it just seems like something is missing.

Ah ... and now I look like I am complaining about nothing.

It's not nothing! The little details are important sometimes.

Defiant, bored teen with long blond hair. Time to acquisition... about 30-90 seconds.

Sadly can't go any lighter on the shade, because then it gets all washed out and gross. Also, as someone with hair a bit shorter than hers, I could totally do pigtails (if I could find a second hair tie ).

Re: Deathknell Chronicles OOC

Welcome everyone who's read the IC thread to a minor recurring element I just made up thinking about it. Claire will occasionally have some trippy dreams. Can vamps dream? Well she does (and hey I didn't take it but there is a nightmare's flaw so there) and they are trippy loosely made statements on the struggles she's repressing.

Though this will only be an occaisonal thing Worlok's got the permanent tripping all kinds of locked down.

Also

@Picture: Claire has brown hair (and on the darker end of that spectrum) not blonde. If I wrote that in game somewhere I really was tripping but it is in my description

Re: Deathknell Chronicles OOC

That's exactly my thought on the question of dreaming: yes, vampires should be able to dream, otherwise the nightmare flaw wouldn't be out there.

@Picture: Claire has brown hair (and on the darker end of that spectrum) not blonde. If I wrote that in game somewhere I really was tripping but it is in my description

Soras, did you say anywhere what your bestial feature was? I was curious (and you frenzied, so I guessed you should have one) but couldn't find a description anywhere.
Or is Claire (and us with her) still unaware of it?

Re: Deathknell Chronicles OOC

Oh she has one I've been mentioning since it happened... namely Claire's clothes fit just fine.

Her mind simply no longer allows her to feel comfortable in them, because animals don't wear them. Chosen to directly relate to the circumstances of her embrace and first frenzy. Everything she wears will feel uncomfortable and may occasionally lead to some occasional social lapses but for an unstatted one I figured I'd could go low key and vagueish. While on the other hand the sort forced behavior she showed in the embrace to match Rogan is now a part of her thinking more permanently she just hasn't realized it yet.

(Incidentally that whole embrace actually came about by accident on the meta level. I was not originally writing Claire as getting interested in Rogan romantically, but attempting to match his casual nudism along with some rebirth and naturalistic symbolism. But our good ST went another way and I decided it made sense for Claire too.)

She isn't aware of it yet though I'm planning to make her realize it at some point. Hence the a deliberate contrasting in the crazy forest dream she's having.

Pretty close to what I had pictured too, except Erica would be a bit older. This could very easily be a portrait of her when she graduated high school.

Probably tomorrow evening will be better, but just because we'll end up blocking the other players otherwise. (Unless Daelrog decides to go ahead with them and leave us the time to wrap up things between us)

Either way, I'll make a token attempt for Amy to find you tonight. No way in hell that she is going to leave you all alone, or worse with Flat Face, as she thinks you are

Re: Deathknell Chronicles OOC

Given the choice I'd say stick with the first one. I had a look through D.A. too and yeah, looks like everyone sticks to very similar themes.

Psst, daelrog... unless Mike hasn't lied to Amy about being born in 1922, I think you may have a typo there... it should be World War II. I'll hold up answering IC just in case it isn't a typo (I guess high-school level of education would be enough for her to remember the dates of the two world wars... so if that's really what he said, she's got to call him out on it)

Re: Deathknell Chronicles OOC

I edited Nyarai's spreadsheet...because I have mentioned Duke in a recent post and I realised that somebody could go "huh?", since he's mentioned just in the beginning of my prelude.

So, i proudly present you the entries for Duke, owner of a shabby diner in the outhwest part of town, and Elizabeth, disembodied voice and general pain in the ass at the Nosferatu flats. No pictures, though. I'm no good at finding pictures.
